The 2021 Sussex Bird Report is now out, full of fascinating information derived from your observations and survey work. There are papers describing a remarkable upward revision of the Marsh Tit population estimate, the exciting results of the Honey-buzzard survey, as well as on Dartford Warblers in Ashdown Forest, urban gulls, and Nightingales and Turtle Doves in Chiddingfold Forest. Plus lots of beautiful artwork from three well-known artists, gorgeous photos and of course the systematic list and all the other regular features. Huge thanks to Editor Mark Mallalieu and his team.
